Fellow activist and torch bearer, Marjora Carter, removed after display of Tibetan Flag

Majoracarter Majora Carter was one of two people at yesterday’s Olympic torch relay in San Francisco to unveil a Tibetan flag while she carried the torch. Read her statement here.

The Olympic Touchcapades left Paris and continued along the San Francisco waterfront. It was the second day here of a huge outpouring of support for Tibet and international call to action. Which included a  Golden Gate Bridge banner hang!

We were a little surprised around here yesterday to learn that our beloved Sustainable South Bronx founder and ED, Green For All co-founder, and MacArthur "Genius Award" recipient, Marjora Carter, agreed to be an official Olympics torch-bearer. Today in San Francisco, Majora had direct action and solidarity with Tibet in mind. She is FIERCE!!! Watch this video (click here). Thank you Majora for representing so hard!

But take a look at how she is treated afterwards. It happens fast and this video is not the best angle.
